According to Bloomberg, US Commerce Secretary Gina Lermondo announced at an event on the 26th (local time) that she plans to require cloud companies to submit information to the government on “foreign customers accessing data centers the United States to learn AI models.” . “We cannot allow non-governmental organizations, the Chinese or anyone we don’t want access to our cloud to train AI models,” said Secretary Lemondo. “Therefore, we must also think about blocking the possibility of malicious activity taking place through that route,” he said. The interpretation is that this is due to concerns that China could develop AI by securing ‘computing power’ through cloud computing methods such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud instead of directly importing AI semiconductors for The United States controls exports to prevent China from securing the advanced semiconductors needed for AI development.
“Cloud companies have a responsibility to know who their biggest customers are and who is training the biggest AI models, and we want to have that information,” said Secretary Lermondo. “What we do with that information depends on what we know.” “It depends on the information,” he said. The related regulations are expected to be released as early as next week.
